Künefe Candy Bars (Melissa Coppel's Take on the Dubai Bar)

Chocolate, pistachios, and kataifi have taken over the world thanks to the Dubai bar!

But did you know that in 2019, Chef Melissa Coppel had already created a bonbon with a similar concept? She filled her chocolates with a kataifi pistachio praliné and a white chocolate orange blossom ganache.

The idea started with Künefe or Knafeh. The first time Chef Melissa tried this Middle-Eastern dessert (consisting of a soft cheese covered in crunchy kataifi layers that’s served hot with a scoop of ice cream and syrup), she was so fascinated that she had to make something with it!

Six years later, these Künefe candy bars take those same flavor notes to give Dubai bars a floral, unique touch.
